The Vampire in Us

I think the only sensible thing for a loopey Saturday like tonight is to write about vampires.

I've become part of the True Blood / Twilight generation of teenie boppers and pluses who get thrilled by these bloodshot pale men from the civil war days who drink blood . It's totally not grotesque. On the contrary, we get dreamy-eyed. And not just my lil' lady cohort; I recently saw my brother hooked on the show!

So let me indulge in the obvious; why do we get thrilled to pieces by vampires?:
-They're dangerous; killer edge, on da edge (bloo blah)
-So they can keep you safe from other vampires. Never know who's lurking around the corner?
-They're different (from us), (hence) mysterious, and brooding, Heathcliff type o hero (on second glance maybe not too brooding)
-Swift. Bouncing around types
-With innate ability to read minds. Makes life a little easier perhaps. In tune with one's feelings
-Fit

I kid you not. I'm actually juvenile enough to feel this way, and frankly honest enough to admit it

"Woe is I" say mummy / nani! "Will she ever grow up?"

Never, never
